Ozzy Osbourne is dead to me!

Who was #2?

Malcolm, Ozzy, ?

Julian McMahon?

Malcom what’s his name from Cosby.

Julian.

"Black Sabbath singer dies aged 76 weeks after touching final show"

These headlines are so awkward.

Good riddance.

72 weeks. Feels like it was 2 weeks ago.

Didn’t he shoot all of his wife’s pets once? Fuck him.

Here comes The Widow Osbourne.

Um skeert.

Wow, and he worked up until 2 weeks ago. Sharon didn't let him rest. He can rest now.

Aww - this is sad! I know he was retiring but damn. He was a really good guy - despite all the drugs and messiness.

It is a bit surprising that these drugged-up old rockers like him and Keith Richards lived so long.

I'm saddened by this - except for the fact that Sharon and Kelly will be NONSTOP about this for the next 3 years. Tributes, legacies - they won't shut up about it and making it about them.

up: Sharon and Kelly hospitalized for depression and exhaustion. "I can't breathe" exclaimed Kelly.

Love you Ozzy RIP

R11, Kelly can't "breath." As for her dad, he was a rocker, in human years he would be 112. So, good long life.

Connie Francis was number one

"dies aged 76 weeks"

Damn

OP, thank you for your class and decency.

Kelly's always been an advocate for the gay community. She gets a pass.

Sharon may not be the most pleasant person, but her firing from The Talk was some bullshit. And the show crashed without her.

Tom Petty died within a week of his last performance at the Hollywood Bowl in 2017.

Good riddance.

Do Sharon next.

It was bullshit. That dour, humorless dyke Sara Gilbert was just SO offended by her.

[quote]Tom Petty died within a week of his last performance at the Hollywood Bowl in 2017.

He ODed on Fentanyl and Oxy.

I didn’t realize he was such a hottie back in the day.

He looked like he was ready to die 25 years ago.

I'm surprised he lasted as long as he did.

I gay gasped. It was nice he had one final show recently and lived long enough to see Kelly get skinny and engaged.

Bats everywhere are breathing easier tonight

R22 - oh yeah - Ozzy could get it back in the day. He was very good looking at one time.

R24, same here. This one hurts. Rest in Peace.

I feel for Sharon, Jack and Kelly. They seemed like a super cool, close family. I was watching Jack's Portals to Hell shows when they would all be on together and they really seemed to enjoy each other. Great family. I know they must be distraught. Thoughts and prayers, for real.

Rough trade Ozzy - looks like he could be in an Old Reliable photo shoot.

His last two albums were awesome.

I've never been much of a heavy metal fan but Iron Man is a fucking amazing song.

Death is so final, for only the living. The spirit will always remain

-Ozzy Osbourne

Our local rock station just played this, which I've never heard. (Never a big Ozzy fan.) But loved it immediately.

Can;t even breath(e)...

R34 - but Kelly made sure to steal the spotlight at her dad's last performance by getting engaged during it. "Oh it wasn't planned" - yeah right - photographers were RIGHT THERE.

Seriously - she did that for press and it's so obvious. At her dad's farewell concert.

What next - wear a wedding gown to his funeral?

R11 "He was a really good guy"

Good guys don't bite off the heads of animals

He closed his eyes forever.

Wow, I never knew until this thread that Ozzy was once kinda pretty. He had that lurching-grimacing-madman shtick fully in place by the time I was a teen in the early 80s.

Was he on our 2025 Celebrity Deadpool List?

There was never ANYTHING pretty about Ozzy.

[quote]They seemed like a super cool, close family.

lol. You obviously know nothing about the family.

R40, character issues aside, superficially, surely you can see it at R22?

That’s what surprised me. The realization that he started out pretty but his darker and more twisted “heavy metal” nature soon took over and swiftly became his outward appearance.

Jack Osbourne has MS. Sharon has a million types of cancer. They’re all going to croak.

[quote]Good guys don't bite off the heads of animals

Quit being a goddamn pussy.

Wouldn't expect them to travel in the same circles. Music unites.

Another pic from his youthful years

I believe he didn't know it was a live bird when he bit off the head - seriously. But that act alone got him tons of press and headlines.

At least he got to see Aston Villa play in the Champions League.

He's finally rid of his fucking, dreadful wife. Fly free, Ozzy.

R49 - The Widow Osbourne (R) - trademark pending - will be merchandising his face on so many products it will make Gene Simmons blush from the excess.

[quote]Who was #2? Malcolm, Ozzy, ?

Malcom was #2 yesterday.

Alan Bergman, legendary songwriter for 60+ years, was #1 with his death on Sunday.

So we have Sunday, Monday, Tuesday celebrity deaths.

His last words were:

GHEDDDUBF UGGJIUN PKUTHFY

Same thing he's been saying for the last 20 years.

I'm starting to wonder if this was on purpose. I remember when Lemmy died, his terminal diagnosis had been announced only one day before and I figured he did an intentional OD. Lemmy was never one to shy away from better living through chemistry.

Maybe Ozzy felt he'd done everything he wanted to do and chose to end it.

My uncle was a huge Sabbath fan, so I was introduced to Ozzy as a very young lad. This is very sad news. My heart hurts.

I legit do not understand WTF he saw in Sharon.

r55 What the fuck did Sharon see in him? The man killed animals including 17 cats!

Fair point, R56

Not a big solo Ozzy music fan, but I like Sabbath's Paranoid and this song too:

PS r26 He looks like Kelli Martin.

[QUOTE]I legit do not understand WTF he saw in Sharon.

Her music manager father was a gangster who weilded undue influence in the music business due to his volatility and propensity towards violence. He pushed and dangled someone out of a window in order to coerce him into signing a contract (Robert Stigwood of Bee Gees fame, IIRC?). Aberrant, sociopathic father has an aberrant sociopathic daughter who corrals a weak addiction-forward Ozzy, so they can both suck him dry. Just a guess.

WTF? I thought Suge Knight invented that move.

What happened to Ozzy’s first wife?

I like his duet with Lita Ford.

Lita Ford & Ozzy Osbourne - Close My Eyes Forever

That picture. Flava Flav, Ozzy and JELLY ROLL

He had great hair and even when he was very sick it was decent

As I said, Music unites.

Everyone’s posting the clip of Ozzy calling Trump a convicted felon.

A lovely tribute from an unexpected source.

I don't know much about him, but I remember thinking he seemed like he was on death's doorstep back during the reality tv days 20+ years ago.

Dang

Always been dead to me.

Of course I know who he is (or was), but I've never actually heard an Ozzy Osbourne song.

Surely, you've heard this r71

Gaga ended her first show in SF last night by wearing an Ozzy Osbourne t-shirt and playing "Crazy Train" as she and her dancers took their final bows.

Sharon? Was she a big fat girl?

I sorta wish I could say I cared about this death, but I don't. Never cared for him or his music.

R44 Yes, animal abuse is so hard core. And so are you....dumbass

R71 Crazy Train is his most well known song. If you aren't under a rock, you've heard it.

[quote] If you aren't under a rock, you've heard it.

Are you new to DL? They were listening to Melissa Manchester back then.

[quote]What the fuck did Sharon see in him?

R79 $$$$$$

I guess I've been living under a rock, because I've never heard "Mama I'm Coming Home" or "Crazy Train" before.

No, r42. Just relentlessly an AWG, if that.

R81 How old are you?

They play the intro to "Crazy Train" in tons of commercials (usually for beer or 4-wheel drives).

[quote] He pushed and dangled someone out of a window in order to coerce him into signing a contract (Robert Stigwood of Bee Gees fame, IIRC?).

That would be correct.

That video is awesome at r65.
